Description

Low Mintage 1868 Quarter, MS 65 NGC

1868 25C MS 65 NGC. The 1860s witnessed some of the lowest P-mint deliveries in the Seated quarter series. Unlike their low mintage counterparts from the 1880s, issues such as the 1868 and 1869 were not saved in significant numbers. It should come as no surprise to students of this series that the present Gem is one of only five MS 65 examples known to NGC and PCGS, and it is bettered by none (10/00). The semi-prooflike surfaces reveal bright fields and frosty devices beneath a thin overlay of snow-white iridescence. A fully struck survivor from an original mintage of only 30,000 pieces.
